Two Lafayette teens arrested for armed robbery, kidnapping

LAFAYETTE, LA — Two teens are behind bars for allegedly robbing a man while he was washing his car.

The Lafayette Police Department reports that the incident occurred on Saturday, Nov. 24. We’re told the victim at a location in the 800 block of North Pierce Street shortly before 11:00 p.m. The victim told police that two men approached him, pulled out a gun, then demanded all of his money.
